Obama or McCain?

Okay, not the cutest card in the world, but very cute stamps. Recently I visited my favorite stamp store, and she was hosting a free make and take. It was hosted by Amuse, and they were cards for the troops. So I sat with my son and made a card for the troops with their new stamp set. Yep, had to have it. I don;t have anyone close to me in the military, but I love everything Americana. I just thought this was the cutest set ever. Bought it!

When I sat down to make a card with this set, I was stumped. So, I am really into the election this year so I thought "why not a political card". This is how it turned out. Quick and easy. Thanks for looking and don't forget to VOTE!

Boris with my New goo punch

Halloween is soon approaching, and it just wouldn't be Halloween without Boris. As much as I love Boris (Amuse mad scientist), I may love my new Martha Stewart goo punch more (at least for now anyways). I searched every Michael's and AC Moore in Mass and New Hampshire and I just couldn't get my hands on one. They were sold out everywhere. SO, I put a post out to one of my Yahoo groups and low and behold one of my girls came through. When she told me she got me a Goo punch, I wanted to dance a jig. I then started stalking the mail lady. Yep, It came today, and I had to play. Even know I have homework and housework coming out my ears. I just had to play with my new punch. So, here is Boris with my punch.

Supplies:

paper: DP pebbles, card stock SU

Stamps: Amuse, CTMH web & spiders

Ink: Copics, Memento, SU basic Gray

Punches: Martha stewart goo punch, Marvy scallop circle.

Bloggers Challenge # 67: Falling for you

TGIF.......Another Friday has arrived, and that means another bloggers challenge. The challenge this week was to make a fall themed love card, or a anniversary card. I never make any kind of "Love" cards, so I embraced the challenge. Since Fall is my favorite season, I decided to go with the "falling for you" theme. I immediately thought of my Amuse owls.
I'm not sure how you design your cards, but I am always working around whatever paper I like at that moment. I also NEVER use a standard card size, which tends to run me some issues with envelopes. I know you can't tell by the picture, but this card measures 7x6. It is HUGE, and I used tiny Amuse stamps.
Also, I also wanted to know what your feelings are on Amuse stamps? A lot of stampers I know say Amuse is not their style their "to simple". I think they are what you make them. I don't think this card is a "simple" card. So, I would like to know what you think. What do you like about them, or what don;t you like?
Thanks for checking out my blog and have a fantabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend. If you have time check out the bloggers challenge group and see what they came up with.

Supplies:
Paper: basic Grey, SU chco chip, olive and pumpkin
Stamps: Amuse
Punches : Su scalloped
Ribbon: random
Ink: copic
Tech: I actually tried the Faux wood grain for the tree. Wicked easy and a nice affect.
